I am in the throes of porting my current residential loan to a BTL Leeds Building Society mortgage. I was told by my mortgage that I must appoint a lawyer for this. I had a chat the same Lampton conveyancing firm who acted on my behalf when I initially acquired the property. The pricing estimate they've given of just over five hundred pounds has surprised me as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s just a bog-standard refinance.
The estimate does seem a little overpriced. Where you are content to invest time contrasting prices you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, assuming were content with the service the firm offered you couldcome to rue choosing an a cheaper lawyer.

My wife and I are refinancing our penthouse in Lampton with Santander. We have a son 18 who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this form unique to the Santander conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 3 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this giving up his entitlement to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Santander conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Santander. This is solely used to protect Santander if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Santander had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Lampton I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Lampton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
